Polished a turd

[MikeyEl]

My cars been covered in pollen and even though it's in no way a pretty car i hated having the pollen on there so i cleaned her up today after i got her back from the speed shop. Here are the results, I'm pretty pleased with the turtle wax soap I picked up last minute at the grocery store.

Yeah unfortunately when i took the pics the sun was setting and my cars "good side" was facing away from the light. That side of the car alone has convinced me that I need to paint it laser when i get it repainted. Hopefully I'll be able to save some cash now that I'm getting more hours at work and the car's exhaust leak is fixed and isn't telling the o2 sensors to tell the fuel pump that it needs to get 8 mpg. $80 in gas every week and a half was no fun :/

You can do a lot with very little, I did this all by hand with no detailing experience and regular el cheapo polishes
and waxes that they sell at every autoparts store
